True @Suzanne rose, warm clothing (usually a couple of layers) and a thermos of coffee does help. But even then, after several hours it gets cold, and so does the coffee. It is not practical to go inside to make fresh coffee because you lose your "night vision" and it takes about 1/2 an hour to then regain it.

Your sister accurately describes country skies. I live in a small rural town called Minimbah, which is about 20 klms west of Forster, and the skies are so crystal clear. You can easily enjoy the night skies with just your eyes only, even a pair of binoculars offer a great view.
I am in Forster and often visit friends at Nabiac. Do you do any public viewings?

So that’s where he’s hiding😹😹
 
Star size comparison. The sizes of a lot of stars in our sky is truly mindboggling. I attach a file giving some idea of it.
Our star, The Sun, is barely a speck. Sirius, the brightest in our night sky does not fare much better. All these stars are in our Milky Way Galaxy. There are red super giants, there are blue/white massively hot stars and yellow stars, which are long lived and pleasantly warm (of which our star is one). The red super giants are definite candidates to go super nova (ie a massive explosion) in the not too far future.
